In 1875, former president of the Confederacy Jefferson Davis spoke in Fulton. About 10,000 people showed up for his speech at the old fairgrounds (now Priest Field at Westminster College). During the Civil War, Callway County had many residents who were sympathetic to the southern cause. In 2010, as part of the Gray Ghost Trail, a panel was dedicated in Hockaday Park to commemorate the event. It currently overlooks the historic Hockaday House where Davis stayed while in Fulton.

In 1946, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill visited Fulton to give a speech discussing the state of the world following World War II. The Sinews of Peace speech would become one of Churchill’s most famous as he described the ideological and physical boundary between eastern and western Europe as an “iron curtain.” In 1969, the Churchill Memorial opened on the Westminster College campus. The main feature of the memorial is St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury chuch which was moved from London to Fulton. The church was designed by Christopher Wren in 1677. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, effectively signaling the end of the “iron curtain”, eight sections of the wall was donated by Churchill’s daughter in 1990.
